I know this is old but, Sorry for being serious, I need to correct you. Women do a man’s job (support the family financially) Men don’t do anyone’s job and the woman’s job is outsourced to Jamaicans who usually hate Jews and secretly want to beat up your kids.

no i dont, just i think some of the excuses for banning women rabbis, ridiculous as they are, might lead one to ban men

This comment makes no sense – you say male rabbis are not the solution and then you say you have no problem with them.

On “Men Are Pigs, therefore only men should be Rabbis” reasoning-

anyone else find something amiss on that logic????

After Tendler, Carlebach, Lanner et all, how many more scandals do we need before we decide that male rabbis are not the solution to untznius behavior?

What would you worry more about- a woman whose emotions sacrifice her objectivity, or a man who’s libido does?

As for me, since discovering happily since I left the hareidi community that men are not pigs, I have no problems with male rabbis and do not believe they should be banned.

It’s from JOFA, so you can guess the perspective they are coming from. But they had an interesting session at their past conference that you can listen to here — http://www.jofa.org/search_biblio.php?searchstring=empowerment&searchparam=any

lol. im sorry, your right i should have researched the matter more thouroghly. my somment was obviously misconstrued. yes, women have been handling pain and blood for centuries, but how many do you know do it for reasons other than to survive and help others? (not prove their “machoness” as women?) and of course women are able to seperate logic and emotion-it has to be done in order to give your children a proper chinuch. men and women are different. period. women are more compassionate. of course there are exceptions and you must realize that as you told me that im overgenralizing, meanig you acknowledge the universal truth of that. (yea men have hormones, it seems thats all they have sometimes. but wtvr) you want to be a shoichet, KISSME? go ahead.
Shtetl,
i think ive seen this comment mentioned above, but there ARE women who give divrei torah, are spiritual leaders, and offer a different perspective on life. they just dont tote the title rabbi, instead being true feminists, prefer to be called the female term of rebetzen. just as a female with an acting carreer is called an actress, not actor. this has been going on for thousands of years. (devorah haniviah, sara, ETC.). as for the women of today, check out the biggest feminests views on chabad.org
